"So what are your inconclusive findings Master Sabreen?" Irman begain to probe with his questioning. It seemed to him that something was known. If not fully understood.

Toryn looked at the Nohgri. He was probing. So what should he let hiim know. He gives in, into resignation. "The information is inconclusive becuase the possiblities are to strange to readily comprehend. At the sight of Vonta's abduction there is a large access of chronoton particles. A substance only found near certain spatial bodies and black holes."

"It almost looks like she grazed by a singularity. Which is impossible becuase the moment you pass by one the effects would kill you." Looking the nohgri staight in the eye. As if saying without words that this is a conversation that is not to be repeated.

"That case would be that she was vaporized and this is not an abduction but a murder. The other more radical posiblity is, as some of my science team have come to believe, is that this is a sign of some type of teleportation. That the particles are used to process the object in someway to transport it from point A in space to point B. I have been waiting to release the facts until I am more conclusive on the facts." He breaks his telling stare with the diminutive Aiki.

"Our founder Greyy Trespe has resources within the Vinda Corperation that we are utilizing, the VC has more resources then the Alderaanian Guard so I am confident that they may be more conclusive then we are. But once I hear a second opinion from their people We well release of findings to everyone concerned with this matter. Then and only then can we start any sort of search effort."

In all of her years alive never had Shadow had so much trouble finding someone. It was strange that thus far she had not been able to find much upon the people that were contected to the one-who-was-many. She was searching for them in the Force and had almost made contact when one of the crew interutuped her concetration by telling her that they where close to port.

She would have been very upset if it weren't for the fact that she had felt that the port was close to the planet that she needed to get to to make contact with the teachers of the one. This made her tolerable to the crew member but she warned him that he should be more careful next time about informing passengers about that kind of thing, the next Force user might not be so nice about it.

First however she was going to have to make contact with them so that the wouldn't be hostial when they meet. That meant that she was going to need somewhere quiet and safe to meditate.

*Good luck on finding a place like that here.* She thought to her self as she departed the frieghter into the organized chaos of the space docks.

The Alderaanian guard Homebase complex was a picture of chaos. The normal Routine of the base was a calm one the varies covert operations and training excercises kept every one at regular schedules. Occasionally they had a attack drill to evacuate to the lowwer levels. But those had long ago come to run like cloak work.

All around the base members of over a dozen species worked together. The last remanents of the New Alliance. Wookies, Rodians, humans, Bothans, Quarren, Jawas, and the cream of the crop the infamous Nohgri. The organization had gotten so large that Greyy had to turn over the running of the school and most of the base fuctions to Toryn Sabreen, his second in command.

But since vonta's dissapperance that regularity had changed. The base was now roamed by all sorts of jedi. Normally there were only the forty Jensaarai on base. But with the dissappearance of Ms. Horn the number of force sensitives have significantly increased. Over 200 Teepo palidins were on base now, along with another 60 Jensaarai from the Saber strike. Several of the Teepos were nearly masters and then add in Master Nogar of the Aiki.

He shakes his head. The Base was also a haven for the way of the Teras Kasi. One of the few known fighting techniques that could counter those of the jedi. Most of the Guard had been required to learn at least the redamentary basics of the art. Now many of them had become quite sensitive to the force users. Too sensitive in fact.

Some of the base members had to be transfered temporally to The academies on Auyumesh and Pydyr. Even greyy himself was not immune. He had a pounding head ache himself. But pain was an old friend of his so he handled it. He did not envy Toryns position now.

The Teepos were taking full advantage of the training facilities and could be found on the shooting range and obstical courses. He actually admired them as warriors. Their marksmanship put many of his best to shame.

He looks out at the Drewwan sky. BLue as midday approached.

Where are you Vonta He thought to himself.

*Ah, finally peace and quiet.* This was the first thought to cross Shadow's mind as she entered her room in the boarding house. Sense she didn't know how long she was going to be there, be it weeks or hours, she figured to ere on the side of causation with her residence.

The wookie set her meager possessions on the floor, locked the door, and turned back to look around the room. It was modest with a bed in the far corner and a desk positioned next to in under the one small window. This was the kind of room that she liked.

Come farther in to the room Shadow headed to the bed to move on to the reason she was here. She would have the quiet that she preferred for her mediations. Shadow started by arranging herself in to a fairly comfortable position, one that none of her limbs would fall a sleep in, but not one where she would fall as a whole. She then concentrated on her breathing and heartbeat. As she did so she could feel herself relax. After that she began to feel as though she is floating. That was the point at which her force scenes began to peak.

She had known that this was the place that she had to look for the teachers of the one, but she had still not thought that it would be this had. There where to many force users that she had never encountered before which was maker her grow nervous. She detested large groups and it look that the ones that she was looking for were congregating in one place.

*Well that's not good.* She thought as she "snooped" at the edges of the large force collective that she would need to enter sooner or later. *It could be worse? Couldn't it?* She asked herself.

*On the upside they don't seem to be that far away. Perhaps no farther then one of the moons. Another upside is, I'm centrally locate here on Drewwa. Got to look at the good side of this.* Shadow thought trying to keep herself calm.

After feeling around some more the wookie decided it was best to return to herself and rest. There was the likelihood that one of the force users had senesced her and would tell one of the others about a strange force power. Who knows who they would take it with one of their friends missing in such an unusual way.

*Best get what sleep I can, who knows when next I'll sleep.* Shadow thought as she laid back on the bed and falling asleep.

The meeting with the head of the Alderaanian guard, that also happened to be the current head of the only known Teras Kasi sect training the Guardsmen the ways of the Teras Kasi in tangent with those of the way of the soilder. It was a game of waiting. Though wait idly was something that a master of any force art does not do with ease. So he continues his meditations. Searching the depths of the force for any sign of his Former apprentice.

The force on Drewwa, a sattilite of Almania, was strange to him. So many force users had gathered into one area. The sensation of feeling so many different kinds of force signitures was novel to him. He felt them all, the warrior like life of the Teepo Palidins, the wholely defensive power of the Jensaarai that was simular to the arts of the Sith and yet still of the light, he even felt the slightly stronger life signatures that were given off by the Teras Kasi on the moon. All this in one place was very out of sorts to one such as Nogar that had trained on the librairy world of Obrai-Skai, secreted and living alone like a hermit. There was all this and...

As the Aiki master sits in a meditative position with his legs crossed his brow furrels in concentration.

I feel some thing else here He thinks.

He feels some thing else in the force something that is completely different from all those that he has currently meet on this planetoid. It was a force signature of the light and yet not of the light. There was a ting of darkness but, it was strange, it was as if the light balanced the dark. Balanced but did not overcome the darkness as a normal light sider should.

His grey skinned brow unfurrels and the master Aiki's yellow eyes open. His body uncurls, his legs distangling from their meditative position. One single hand goes to his side. A small, ornately decorated, meter long rod greeted his grip. The light-bo of the Aiki was the oldest gift of the Aiki order. The weapon appeared to be a double bladed light saber. The two ends were open as a two sided saber should be. If one were to assume that then then would be right and wrong. The light bo is powered not by any technology but by the skill of the force sensitive user. The light that extends when it is activated is not that of a light blade, no the ends are quite blunt. They are more akin to staff ends or Bo ends (a staff like weapon in martial arts).

Rising to his feet he walks out of his quarters with purpose. He would seek out this new presence and find its source. For this person may know something of what happened to Vonta.


----------------------------


Out side of a space port on Drewwa there is a boarding house in which a small gray being, known and feared through out the shadows of the galaxey as the Nohgri, traced his new prey. He entered the complex with out problem. Avoiding detection of all. Tracing the signal he finds that it leads to a meager room.

Entering via the air docts he drops into the quartes silently. Moving more like a being that had merged with the wind then a being of flesh and blood. The air welcomed him and gave away no sign of his presence. Light-bo in hand he prepared to make his presence known to the new being that he must encounter.

As the Jensaarai Ring Defender Jaymach Ral'Tir was concentrating on finding this individual named Vonta Horn who his master, the great Saarai-Kaar, had told him to look for he sensed a strange being close to him. A being that he had not encountered before. One who was grey...not dark...and not light.

Immediately he decided to seek out this being so as to find out who it was...and why they were here. He donned his cortosis weave helmet, already wearing his armour, and picked his 2 Plasmasabers ((Are they allowed here?)) off the table next to him.

As he got up he turned to the other Jensaarai in the room, simply stating that he had found someone of interest and was going to investigate. Before he left the room he called upon the force and cloaked himself to all electronic devices and blocking any force users from sensing him. This still left him visible to the naked eye but that was where his youth as a wyrwulf ((a six legged wolf)) came in useful.

He had learned how to be extremely stealthy so as to hunt his prey and capture his meals. He moved along the corridors and out into the open, only being spotted by his fellow Jensaarai who he could trust completely.

The Codru-Ji tracked the grey one to a strange complex which seemed to be a boarding house although he had never entered it before. As he neared the room in which he sensed this grey being he also sensed a being of the light. Looking arround however he could not see a single being but he knew that it was there somewhere...and it was going to the same place which he was.

Instead of trying to find this being however he simply opened the door into the room in which he sensed the grey being and let his Plasmasabers fall from their holders on his wrists into his top 2 hands, getting ready to grip the Lightwhip from his waist with one of his lower hands if needed...

*It seems that two have desided to investigate me.* thought Shadow.

She had senced two light force sorces approaching her, not ten minutes ago.

*They do move quickly, do they?* she thoguth with a laugh. *I should prepare for them I guess.*

Shadow had been reclining in her bed up to then, so she sat up and looked around. There were three ways in and out of this room, the door, the window, and the air vent in the celling. The one sorce that felt like one of the teachers of the One saw eminating for the celling and the other one that Shadow had never felt before was just outside her door. The only place would allow her to observe both of them would be from the coner of her bed that was snug against the coner of the wall.

So she sat back into the coner and waited for the two to enter. What she got was rather interesting.

The being at the door open it and reveal a 'young' force user with four arms two of which casualy held two saber hilts, not yet ignited((That is true right?)).

Shadow shook her head and spoke.

-(Put away your weapons, I mean you no harm. Please come in, I am waiting for another guest who should be dropping in soon.)-

Just as she had said that the Nohgri dropped to the floor. His fall was graceful and truely amazing. His weapon of choice was held confidently and with practiced ease.

Shadow smiled softly and shoke her head as she spoke.

-(As I have aready said I mean you no harm. In fact I have searched you out, master. We are looking for the same person, the many who are one.)-

The room was pervaded with the scent of wookie.

'Sniff' Female wookie.

When he landed in a defensive posture he heard the guteral wookie tongue spoken.

-(As I have aready said I mean you no harm. In fact I have searched you out, master. We are looking for the same person, the many who are one.)-

Wookie was one of the many languages that the Aiki master was forced to learn in the mastery of his art. The room was bathed in force energies. A Jensaarai was standing near the entrance of the door.

Irman did not sense his approach in the force.

'Interesting' the Nohgri thought to himself, this one bore some investigating. But not at this time.

This duel shadow of a force user was his first priority. The many that are one? She must be speaking of Vonta. He Keeps his weapon at the ready not prepared to relax just yet.

"You seek out this many who are one. May I ask what bussiness that you have with this sentient that you have sought out?" Nogar keeps his voice neutral.

This was a new type of force user that he was unawares of. Glancing at the Jensaarai he gives a stringent look that says to hold his ground for the time being. Hopefully this...

Out of the perephrial vision the Master Aiki identifys the rank decoration.

....this ring Defender reconizes him from the base as a friend.

He decided to do as the Wookie said, and put his Plasmasabers back in their holsters under his wrists but he kept his other hand on his Lightwhip, and the built in Sith Lanvarok which was on the top left arm of his armour was always at his disposal. It had taken him quite a long time to acquire that Lanvarok and then still more time to build it into his armour but he was extremeley proud of it.

As the Wookie spoke his helmet immediately translated it into Basic as it always did with any language although the Jensaarai could understand Shyriiwook ((The language Wookies speak)) perfectly well.

-(Put away your weapons, I mean you no harm. Please come in, I am waiting for another guest who should be dropping in soon.)-

"You mean me no harm? I find that hard to beleive when you have been hiding yourself for however long it has been. If you truely mean us no harm then why hide at all? Why not come to us and tell us what you seek?." Jaymach turned sensed the other being who was coming drop into the room and turned to greet him.

Upon seeing his weapon of choice Jaymach immediately knew he was the Aiki Master who he had been told of.

"Ah, you must be the fabled Aiki Master, yes? I have heard much about you...many interesting things...but that can wait." Immediately after he had said this the Wookie spoke once more.

-(As I have aready said I mean you no harm. In fact I have searched you out, master. We are looking for the same person, the many who are one.)-

'The many who are one?' the Jensaarai thought to himself. 'Perhaps this one does indeed know where Vonta is...I was right to come here...although I think that this Aiki could have done perfectly well without me...' It was at this time that the Jensaarai dropped his Force Cloak and stopped Blocking other Force Users senses...these skills were no longer needed. Then the Aiki said his first words...

"You seek out this many who are one. May I ask what bussiness that you have with this sentient that you have sought out?"

He saw the Aiki's look and knew to stay his ground...the Aiki could most probably take this Wookie with ease but Jaymach remained alert just in case he did try anything...he may be hiding more power than the Jensaarai could currentley sense...
